The Option Pit Gold Level Course

The Gold Course was designed by two previous floor traders, and created with each of their personal training and experience in mind. It has been set up in a format much like a college course. It is by far the most in depth course out there at a fraction of the cost of other programs.

The Gold Course is also taught by two educators who, most importantly, consider themselves traders first.

With this background they are able to teach students the work necessary to read the market and not shortcuts or tricks. Students can check their own progress after each section test and ask the teachers for help during the Study Hall, Gold Lab, or via email. This course takes traders in one of the largest steps of their education from beginner trader to condition sensitive trader with a complete background.

What You Will Receive:

Streaming Education- The entire Gold Course is streaming. The course is separated into 12 weekly modules and broken down into 4-9 minute units. To move on to the next module, trainees have to complete a multiple choice test and score at least a 70%. Unlike a live webinar, you can watch each module as many times as needed to understand each concept fully.

Live Trading Lab- Once a week, mid-day on Thursdays you will have a lab in which you learn how to put the theories into practice. It will explore your education in relation to the current market and historical market situations. This will also be recorded and put on the site.

Live Open Mic- Included is a regularly scheduled, 45 minute Open Mic. In this time, you can stop in and ask questions or remain to listen to other student's questions. This too will be recorded and placed on the site for your review.

Option Pit Live- Our Option Pit Live session is our daily Midday market condition report with trade selection and position management as the covered material. This is the opportunity for trainees to ask questions during market hours. Depending on conditions, we try to cover one trade concept per session. Option Pit tracks all the trades we look at, plus any adjustments in our Strategy Letter (SL) which is included in Option Pit live. This is recorded and posted daily.
